What i did was set my idle a bit higher, then when it came time to start it i held my left hand on the roll bar but stretched my index finger out to where the throttle servo was. I pushed down on the throttle linkage where the spring is right next to the servo to give it a bit of gas. After that it started right up. But gloves are a must, and man i got such a workout trying to get that thing started. I was sweating buckets.
